There will always be price increases. That is the nature of the beast. And of course there is inflation. Hoverever, there are justifiable price increases. While it is a little hipocritical of Dish to run their pig ads while simultaneously raising there rates, I think you have to look at the whole picture. As point out in the article, in the last few of years, Comcast has doubled rates. Dish hasn't. I can stand a 4% increase periodically. I can't stand a 6% increase multiple times a year for several years. I fully expect my AT50 rates to go up Jan 1, 2005, but I don't expect them to go up 7, 8, or 9% like my local Comcast rates have the last several years.Stargazer said:The reason that many switch to satellite from cable is due to so many rate increases but if satellite is also going to have more rate increases then this is going to deter some people from switching from cable to satellite.
